Hello from South Lakes
Hi there,
best advice I could give anyone before buying a vehicle is - join a forum and find out what goes wrong and what is praised - and what the other owners are like.
Having said that - I found you by trying to find out if a van on Ebay was too good to be true! It was! And thanks to information on this forum I walked away smartly!
I had already worked out that an A-S is probably the best van to suit my needs and pocket - and they all seem to last a long, long time!
I am looking to buy an A-S with four seat-belted seats (Talisman) - and am trying to work out what models this might include - there seems a myriad of options with A-S!
Is there any definitive list of models??
How do you decide on buying a van at long distance???? Do the AA do checks???
Any advice welcome
Anyroadup
Nice to meet you all
Stoocoo

Thanks Jaytee
I was hoping I kept within the "first post" rules!
Wouldn't fancy being tied and dragged through a campsite behind a posse of A-S vans!

But Google translate is a brilliant thing - just make sure and double check it - unless you wanted to marry the chief's daughter offering a dozen cows and a VW as a dowry!
